Exactly.

Everyone else will be broke, taking out loans from Cy, and then getting their pointer fingers cut off.

Starting to get to be a little too much thought going into this. As they say, if it's not broke...

Eh, I'm just sick of the whining by some folks about how they are out of credits all the time is what it boils down to. I don't want to hear it, you put the bet down not the rest of the board so live with it.

To be blunt...I only see a couple folks "whining" and it's not because they're out of credits...

Don't read the betting threads then. That is the fun of betting... complaining when you lose and gloating when you win. What else are we going to do with them? It is not like they are real money. It was fun last night screaming with about everyone else that was on, that KU should have tried to score there with 45 seconds. And then listening to everyone complain how close they were to making $$$$.

Why are credits given just for a username? I think someone should at least be on CF during the week/day to get the weekly/daily bonus.

Also credits should not be able to be passed from one user to another. What would stop people from setting up 10 accounts just for the credits?

OK here goes.

I don't like the loan idea. It starts to make it too complicated and too easy to get credits. If you lose who cares? Although, reputation collateral would be a way to combat this.

Betting between individual members would be very cool.

I like the way the current point system is set up. I don't think it's that hard to get a few thousand credits even if you lose them all.

I agree very strongly with having consequences for betting. If you lose big, you are done for a while, just like in real life. However, it should only take a few weeks (if that) of activity to get yourself back to enough credits to make decent sized wagers again. It is indeed what makes it so fun. I know that I can wager 50,000 credits on a bet, but if I lose, those credits are gone and it's not that easy to just get them back only to lose right away again. That takes the fun out of it! If you make it too easy for members to get their credits back, those who have not made good bets can get back "into the game" way too fast and easily. Just as you have to work for money in real life, you should have to work for your credits on this message board. (Plus it will be fun listening to all of the losing betters complain about how poor they are! Not to mention the lucky winners gloating about their riches!)

Not sure what to think about the lottery system. Might be a good idea, but don't let the pot get too big. Maybe 100,000 or less, with entry fee with credits. Again, credits should be earned, not given away freely.

I like the idea of lottery drawings for prizes using credits. Ticket fee of 1,000 credits? I also like the idea of being able to buy items with credits. I can see how Jeremy just doesn't want to give away items all of the time, so you will need to set prices fairly high. At least a couple hundred thousand for the cheap items, IMO. Just depends on how fast Jeremy wants to give stuff away. He can always adjust prices if he feels people are able to buy too much, or not enough.

Just think what the bookie board is going to look like that tue and wed before the games start once the lines come out. Wow, I better take the days off work just to post events.
